Horse Money (Portuguese: Cavalo Dinheiro) is a 2014 Portuguese film directed by Pedro Costa. It premiered in August 2014 at the Locarno International Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Direction.[1] Horse Money is the fourth film in a sequence of films set in the Fontainhas slum region in Lisbon, and the second with character Venturas as the protagonist.

Plot

[edit]

Ventura, an elderly Cape Verdean immigrant living in Lisbon travels through the night, through real and imagined nightmarish memories.

Release

[edit]

Horse Money was in competition for the Golden Leopard at the 2014 Locarno International Film Festival.[1]

Critical response

[edit]

The film received critical acclaim. Matt Zoller Seitz, a film critic for RogerEbert.com, gave the film three and a half out of four stars, stating that "the best approach [to Horse Money] is to surrender to it as you might a dream and let the images overwhelm you."[2] The international film magazine Sight & Sound named it the third best film of 2014, behind Boyhood and Goodbye to Language while tying with the film Leviathan.[3]
